@Humpleupagus @NotoriousDOG @JedDrudge @AsukaNeko @LordOfTheKangs Except you can't say who will be "they" going forward. Israel is very clear about wanting regime change, and has made a point about keeping Khamenei alive only so he can surrender, to the point of bombing the far northeastern city he's said to have holed up in.
Also, "hit" is hardly "sunk." We've had ships get hit with sailor deaths without going completely ape-shit against the perps. So imagine for example a small enough hit to get us to use some of our MOPs....
